    I would have quit Tennessee football if we would have hired Tony Elliott. That would have been throwing in the towel.

    Sometimes, I even surprise myself with my ability to perform at an Olympic level of mental gymnastics. I'd have hung around lol.

    That would have broke me and I'm stubborn as hell.

    So can anybody explain why Heupel looked so mediocre at UCF? Like who would have thought Frost would just bomb and Heupel would have the dumpster fire he inherited in the top 10 in 1.5 seasons?

    Well, another factor in common with the most successful years at both places is Dr. Danny White, PhD Esquire MD DDS DVM PE

    What did you see that made him mediocre? I never saw them. And I cant just look at a record and assume. Coulda lost talent. Big injuries or one of many reasons besides average coaching. As we know, all it takes is bad qb play to lose games.

    He had a really good year or 2 and then like 20 COVID opt outs I think.

    That's fair, but there was a reason many UCF fans seemed to be glad he was leaving. Certainly not the way they felt about White.

    I also think it would just about take Nick Saban to win anything at Nebraska in this day and age

    I cant remember the records but didnt UCF go undefeated Frost last year? Hard to follow that really, especially when they’ve never been there before.

    They went undefeated Frost’s last year and undefeated in the regular season Heupel’s first year (let some scrub named Joe Burrow carve them up in the Fiesta Bowl though).

    I imagine teams started preparing for UCF more intensely after two undefeated regular seasons.

    His 6-4 season at UCF included a one and three point loss, as well as an 8 point loss. They did get waxed by BYU in the bowl by about 20, but most of their losses weren't bad losses. It did seem their defense gave up a ton of points. I do think he has to take defense a little more seriously in this conference. He's not going to score 40 points every game.

    Might score 34 in every game.

    Seems like a qb broke his leg?

    Half the roster sitting out for covid didn't help him at UCF

    I think George O'Leary went undefeated or damn near it a few years before Frost

    Y’all would know UCF’s info if you read that other thread and didn’t put me on ignore. Just saying…

    LSU game should be a good measuring stick for this team. Their defense seems to be legit, and their DB’s are solid.
